The Problem with Red Mage . . .

[Demon6324236]

Neither of them look like me pointing at a BLU and asking SE 'why am I not the thing I'm not'

I don't want RDM to be a BLU, I want better TP options and some of the light DD sets for once so we have a more competitive DPS with other jobs which are light DDs as we should be. BLU has its own bag of tricks vastly different to RDM's, we have no interchangeable traits, nor do we have the ability to use mobs attacks, we have magic that is the same as a gimpified version of WHM & BLMs spell lists, with a few extra things here & there. We should have a decent DPS, not WAR, no, thats the other 3rd of the job, WAR+BLM+WHM, and seeing as we got gimpified WHM & BLM magic with a few tweaks, as well as the gear to go with that, why cant we have gimpified DD with a few tweaks. Gimpified DD would be, Light DD power, with the tweak of maybe a little elemental magic damage when we hit, like say, enspells. The vast difference here is when you look at gear. Mage gear, we get alot of, melee gear, we get some of, mage gear, we get put on every set practically, melee, we get put on no sets at all.

Asking for the same sort of gear selection BLU has =/= asking for RDM to become BLU.

Asking for the same sort of gear selection BLU has =/= asking for RDM to become BLU.

Then ask for the same thing on Scale mail or on hybrid gear. We aren't ever going to get on the Light DD set, because they said no and they have always said no. I understand what you are asking for and I'm only saying it's unrealistic because you are asking for something they will say no to on default. RDM doesn't go on Light DD armor sets, next question.

So go around the issue and ask for something you'll actually get. If you want to wear Light DD armor, assemble the stray pieces you want that we are getting access to. If you want a Set of armor, actually ask for one we are allowed to be on. Don't look at any other job. Look at RDM. Just look at what gear we get put on. And ask for it there.
